Vitamin Deficiency
Vitamin B12 and D 25 Hydroxy Testing in Logan, UT
Cache Valley Labs Direct offers a Vitamin Deficiency Panel, which takes a look at vitamins that are common culprits of vitamin-related issues. Getting vitamin levels tested is a great idea if you follow a plant-based or alternative diet, if you suffer from fatigue, or are experiencing symptoms like thinning hair, brittle nails, or muscle aches, or if you simply want to check in and figure out how your body is doing.
The Vitamin Deficiency Panel includes:
Vitamin B12 + Folate
A deficiency in folate can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain types of cancers, and is a common concern among post-menopausal patients. Vitamin B12 helps with the upkeep of DNA, blood, and nerve cells; both of these vital compounds can become deficient during the hormonal changes in menopause and are important to monitor.
$69.00Vitamin D
Vitamin D measures the amount of vitamin D in a patient’s body, which relates to bone mineralization and can give insights into bone health.
$89.00Ferritin
Ferritin is a protein that carries iron in the bloodstream. Iron is an important mineral that produces hemoglobin (a protein that allows red blood cells to carry oxygen to the cells in the body) and myoglobin (a protein that carries oxygen to cells in the muscles). Ferritin levels help a doctor identify whether a patient’s iron levels are where they need to be. $49.00
